#2 - Rhyme Time
Season 4 - Episode 16 - Aired Mar 4, 2002
In this episode, we help the various characters to come up with words that rhyme with things they're saying.

Lullabies usually rhyme and so we help Mr. Salt to create one to get Paprika and Cinnamon to sleep. We also skiddoo into a rhyming storybook. There we help out several characters whose stories aren't quite right because one of the things in them doesn't rhyme with the other two things.
